Abstract
It is estimated whether or not each of landmarks is an object to be noted for travel assist control by using an estimation line EL set in the reference frame. The estimation line EL is set to be substantially parallel to a borderline BL. The borderline BL is a line a line which separates a drivable area and an undrivable area of a vehicle. It is estimated that the landmark located on a center line CL side is the object to be noted for travel assist control. It is estimated that the landmark located on a borderline BL side is not the object to be noted for travel assist control.
Claims5
A vehicle control device comprising;
- a wide-angle radar which is configured to detect landmarks around an own vehicle;
- a map database which includes information on borderlines by which a drivable area and an undrivable area of a vehicle are separated;
- an estimation line set portion which is configured to execute setting processing to set an estimation line around the own vehicle based on a location of the own vehicle and the information on borderlines, wherein the estimation line extends substantially parallel to the borderline on an own vehicle side than the estimation line;
- and
- an object estimation portion which is configured to execute estimation processing to estimate whether or not the landmark is an object to be noted for travel assist control including the drive control, braking control and steering control of the own vehicle,
- wherein the estimation processing includes processing:
- to determine that the landmark is the object to be noted for travel assist control when the detecting position of the same landmark is at the own vehicle side than the estimation line;
- and
- to determine that the landmark is not the object to be noted for travel assist control when the detecting position of the same landmark is not at the own vehicle side than the estimation line.
